CHARLOTTE, N.C. _ Sun, sand, waves and a cooling breeze await you, but for a carefree day at the beach, you'll need to bring the rest.
But "don't try to bring everything," says Lynne McAdams, owner of Details in Design in Charlotte.
McAdams' favorite part of going to the beach is vegging out with a book and relaxing.
Overplanning can detract from the experience, she says.
But what you do bring matters, says Karen Cooley, owner of Uptown Cooking in Charlotte.
The market is flooded with hip, beach-friendly products, from skin cover-ups to convertible picnic carts, that can help smooth your day by the shore.
